It's the first Ukrainian facility of this sort licensed by the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine.

Сryobank in figures

  • Over 12,000 families who entrusted the storage of placental and cord blood stem cells
  • Over 200 cord blood stem cell transplants
  • Over 50 mesenchymal stem cell transplants (from the placenta).

 

Services

  • Collection and storage of the birth cord and its blood

Cord blood is applied in the treatment of immune, hematology, and oncology hematology diseases. The birth cord cells are used for treating heart diseases, restoring liver and brain tissue, skin, and growing new vessels.

  • Placenta collection & storage

Placenta cells have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antitumor properties. They treat wounds, burns, mucosal lesions, corneal ulcers, conjunctivitis, and restore eye tissue.

  • Collection and storage of ovarian tissue

This service is demanded by:

  1. women with malignant tumors who are planning a pregnancy in the future and have been prescribed medication, which can cause infertility.
  2. women who decide to postpone pregnancy. With age, fertility decreases, and it becomes more difficult to become pregnant naturally.

 

Stemcell Clinic

It is the first branch founded in 2004. Since the foundation, it has served more than 3,000 patients.

as an ICT consultant told us: “Prevention is much cheaper than treatment.” There are so many terrible things in the world because of the ecology and all the nuances of modern life that I am very worried about what will happen to our baby next. while we can afford to make such a serious insurance, we have done cryopreservation of both the placenta and cord blood. and I want to note that despite my cesarean everything went smoothly and without problems, although I was very worried, this is not a contraindication.

She gave birth in Lelek, the doctor recommended preserving the umbilical cord blood of our baby, commenting ... this is invaluable material. The contract was concluded with the Institute of Cell Therapy, and received another 10% discount from the Lelek maternity hospital for the collection and storage of material. The container was brought to the hospital in advance, the husband controlled the collection of material during childbirth. In the cryobank, analyzes were done on time under the contract, then they informed us the results and prepared a certificate. We paid in installments, first an advance, and then the remainder. In the near future we plan to sign up for an excursion to the cryobank ... it is interesting to look at the technologies of the future.

ICO ENTRY

Several times I tried to learn how to use the collected stem cells in practice. Every time they said something slurred. They accurately said that in Ukraine they do not treat oncology, they can be treated abroad, but the center does not know about it. From the pros - the price. In the states, such things cost tens of times more. But if necessary, it is not clear how to transport these cells to the states - it should be a special cryocontainer, how airport security will react to this container and any sanitation in the states is not clear. Contract. The contract did not like much. But now there’s only one thing: the clause according to which the bank can unilaterally terminate the agreement contains, among other things, “war, floods, earthquakes,” the phrase “and so on.” So, in the case of jambs of a cryobank, because of this "and so on" the bank owes you nothing. Under "and so on" you can stuff ALL that is pleasing. After the presentation, I went up to ask on this point to the person who was making the presentation. His answer: "Oh, you know, I'm a doctor. I don’t know anything in these legal aspects. The contract is typical, no one will remake it for you." So much for Ukrainian business. In principle, you can leave a number in the contract, the phrase that the bank will store blood, details for payment, and "and so on."

For the first time, my husband and I learned about stem cells at the School for Pregnant Women event at the Institute of Cell Therapy. Having studied all the pros and cons of this service, we decided to conclude an agreement and give our first-born child the most expensive gift - biological insurance! Material collection is safe for both mom and baby. The opportunity is unique - only during childbirth!

I want to thank the head doctor of the clinic Sokolov Nikolai Fedorovich for professional advice, an objective assessment of the case of my patient and straightforward answers. Being a doctor myself, I highly appreciated his qualifications and ability to accurately determine the patient’s condition on the basis of CT scans and English-language extracts. Special thanks to the girls from the call center for their correctness and patience.

Were at the bottom of open doors. It seems that everything was ok until I asked for a certificate for this activity. This institution does not have a certificate that they are a cord blood bank. The certificate which is dated 2011 cannot be unlimited and it seemed to me that it is 100% linden. They do not have a fresh certificate issued by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine stating that this institution is a cord blood bank. And he must be! According to the law # 286 of 03/02/2016. The certification certificate states that it is a laboratory, not a bank. In the certificate itself, the end date of the certificate is written in pen by hand. To my great regret, I was convinced that another regular fraud in Ukraine was to lure money. I read reviews about the Hemofund and about their scandal and decided to contact this bank (Institute), but as it turned out, this structure does not have proper documents and they are not a bank as such, but according to the documents they are a laboratory. Therefore, everything is at your own peril and risk. Although the reviews about this institution were good.

I doubted a little whether it was necessary to save blood from the umbilical cord - it is not known whether the baby will need it, and the cost of storage is quite high. And then I met a family that already in this bank of cord blood saves cells. It so happened that they already had to use it, the drug came up to the first child in the family who needed to be treated. If there were no stored cells, the treatment would cost tens of times more. So we also decided to maintain cord blood in this clinic. I went to the open door day, they explain everything very clearly, they all showed that there is no reason not to trust, especially since my friends have kept blood here for many years from which they made the drug. Thanks to the specialists for the good work!

Institute of Cell Therapy, we have confidence in them. The doctor takes the material and then passes it to the cryobank, there they will do tests. We still retained the placental mesenchymal stem cells, this is a new service. A consultant doctor at the Institute of Cell Therapy said that mesenchymal stem cells can be used for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as for the restoration of organs and tissues.

It was one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever experienced in my life. A global "health resort" is a private stem cell institute, visited by ambassadors, heads of state, and many wealthy individuals and photographers from around the world to receive unparalleled comprehensive healthcare. I spent ten days in the Ukrainian capital, six of which were spent in a prison, institute, hotel, and clinic (!), and more accurately, anyone who enters this place on foot and of their own free will leaves as if they were 18 years old. The jailer is a doctor, a native of our country (a pure Arab), who oversaw the physical "corruption files" and worked to "cleanse" them medically. In this prison, which boasts a star status that surpasses hotels in terms of sophistication and treatment, sleeping in its solitary confinement cell is ideal. Your first morning begins with a blood sample program for 47 important tests. The train then departs, beginning with a healthy and delicious breakfast. The prisoners are then released for a stroll on the rooftop of the prison-sanatorium and a cup of coffee—and, of course, coffee drinkers in Kyiv. After breathing the breeze of freedom above the rooftops, you are taken back to your cell-room to begin your health regimen at this stem cell center. The jailer, Dr. Nasser Al-Balushi, and his team, including another Arab, Abdullah Mohammed, greet you to administer the necessary injections, nutrients, medications, and nutritional supplements. Immediately following, you are taken to the massage room. After the scrubbing and massage, it's your turn to receive skincare in a specialized section. Once lunchtime arrives, the inmate is free to eat alone or with the other "inmates." After a break, each inmate returns to their own room to resume their scheduled stem cell care. Your freedom is not in your hands, especially when moving between wards, as you are accompanied by a private guard, or rather a nurse, who oversees your comfort. The days proceed in a pattern of examinations and supplements until the fourth day, when the inmate receives the nutrient cells via a subcutaneous injection, which takes no more than half an hour. Once this "medical mission" is completed, the inmate returns to the previous program and is released on the seventh day armed with a detailed and detailed report on their health condition and the treatment they require, if necessary. After voluntary detention and a strict health schedule, I transitioned to a chaotic schedule in the capital, Kyiv, filled with movement unbound by specific people or specific hours. I discovered what was new in the world of that city (Kyiv), which has adapted to itself and its people, adapting to sipping coffee in the cafes that teem its streets, where between each cafe there is... a cafe. Indeed, you return as if you were... 18 years old!
